JR on Angle Passing a WWE Physical

In the Q&A section of JRsBarBQ.com, Jim Ross had the following to say regarding whether or not he feels Kurt Angle could pass a WWE physical and return to the ring for the company.

"I'm not a doctor nor do I know the extent of Kurt's physical ailments, so I have no way of answering your question with any degree of accuracy. I'd hope that he could."

As we previously reported, the internal feeling in WWE is that Angle will be returning to the company in some capacity when his TNA contract expires later this year. We also noted that many in WWE feel it's doubtful Angle would be able to pass the required WWE physical to receive clearance to compete in the ring, so there has been speculation that he could work with NXT talents in a trainer capacity.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
